The TV light reached out as far as it could in the dark room. The living room was very empty, there is only a couch and a TV, it's waiting for his furniture to settle down like he should of done the first day. Every night I watch the news and pray to not see his face, that's the only way I know... he's ok. It's been days since I last saw him, I don't even know why I let him leave right after our wedding...
"Ames it's important that I go as soon as possible, but don't worry Tails and Knuckles will be there with me." Sonic hugged me one last time before heading off to the X-Tornado with the others. "But Sonic when will you be back? I mean we didn't even have our honeymoon..." I fidgeted with my dress nervously not knowing the answer. "Oh Amy, I'll be back as soon as possible. Our honeymoon on the other hand can wait, the longer you wait the better it'll be." He winked and took off giving me a smile as he disappeared from my sight.
6 days I've been waiting for his return, everyday and every night it's been the same result. Last night was a little different though, the wind was blowing hard, even with the moon almost full it was covered by clouds. That night I went to bed early knowing he wasn't going to come home. The sand man came to me right away that night, at least I think it was the sand man. When I was laying in bed I could feel someone there watching me, then the metallic smell entered the room. It was a familiar smell, like after Sonic and Knuckles got through with their battles. I couldn't get my finger on it, was it Iron? No something else or maybe it was iron, but where did it come from? My memories must be playing with me knowing that Sonic is gone. Shaking my head I turned off the television, I could feel my eyes getting droopy. Instead of going all the way upstairs I grabbed a pillow put it at the end of the couch. I shut the TV off, pulled up a blanket and got comfortable. It's better to be on the couch anyway just in case if Sonic does come home tonight, he could take me upstairs when he gets back or stay on the couch with me. My mind finally shut down as I went to dreamland.

The moon was full tonight, shining bright and brilliant. In the House of Amy + Sonic the Hedgehog, a clock stuck midnight. Instead of the normal ringing like a clock would screams of agony echoed through the halls. Amy was yanked out of sleep, she turned her head every direction all she saw was darkness. Being tired but well awake she turned on the TV wanting to watch the news. Static was all over the screen, going to turn it off Amy heard ruckus coming from upstairs. Curiosity took over the petite hedgehog, she slowly got up from the couch and went upstairs. The anchorman's voice came from the TV even with the static going, "Five dead... The murderer is to be near the area..." Like cue the TV shut off leaving no light in the living room. Amy was already upstairs with the light on walking down the hall, she noticed her door was wide open.
Shaking she saw her room trashed, her dresser was on the floor with it's continents scattered everywhere, her bed was slashed to pieces. Amy then saw her curtains whipping along with the wind, claw marks were all over the curtains like an animal was in her room. Just to make herself calm she looked for a forest animal in her room, looking in her walk in closet with a bathroom added on. Still finding nothing she walked over everything that was in her way and walked to the hallway, the light in the hallway shut off like a warning to not to leave the room. Scared, Amy backed up and fell on her dresser, in pain she gradually got up to see her door slam in front of her, then something else shut, the window... Amy huddled to the corner of her room and began to bawl, she wanted Sonic to be here to hold her to tell her it was going to be ok. She knew even more that Sonic wasn't here, her bedroom light shut off as well. Now bringing her knees to her chest she got her nightgown wet, she didn't even care that is was starting to wrinkle she was scared out of her mind.
Amy wiped her tears and looked up for a brief moment, two red eyes were staring at her from the corner of her room. Frightened Amy backed into the corner as far as she could, "Who...Who are you?". As the figure got closer a metallic smell entered Amy's nose, she gagged like she was going to throw up but nothing came up. Amy continued to cry and gag soon her vision got blurry, the figures eyes went from red, to a red mess, then finally black. Amy had passed out from the smell and fear, she laid on the ground, tears still running down her face. The figure picked Amy up with it's clawed hands and chuckled darkly, "Oh my sweet rose, your going to be a wonderful goddess..." Holding Amy bridal style she and the figure disappeared leaving the room in complete darkness.
